The Fauci Files Tulsi Says They Never Wanted You To See

Anthony Fauci pushed American intelligence officials to steer questions about the origins of COVID, according to dozens of new documents declassified by outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. 

On her last day in the Trump administration, Gabbard published 67 new documents and emails showing Fauci’s involvement with the Intelligence Community’s probe of the origins of COVID. Gabbard also said she found proof of retaliation against intelligence officials who advocated for the now widely-accepted lab leak hypothesis of COVID over the natural origin pushed by Fauci.

“I’m releasing never before seen communications and documents that expose exactly how Fauci worked with politicized career leadership in the intelligence community to suppress the truth about his actions, the virus’s lab leak origins, and his role in directing U.S. funding for this dangerous research that caused immeasurable harm and countless lost lives,” Gabbard said in a video posted Thursday night. 

Gabbard added that “the intelligence community almost always incorporated Fauci’s recommendations.”

One email from July 13, 2021, showed Intelligence Community investigators discussing how “Dr. Fauci recommended that the IC reach out to the below individuals,” appearing to refer to the authors of a paper pushing the claim that COVID had a natural origin. 

In reply on July 14, 2021, from an unidentified intelligence official, the person claimed Fauci knew “who the real Coronavirus experts are.” 

“In this particular case, given Dr Fauci’s background we absolutely would like to follow-up on his outreach suggestions. In this case he’s not a policymaker … he’s a [Subject Matter Expert] with a wealth of knowledge about current and historical research who probably knows better than most who the real Coronavirus experts are.” 

The unclassified documents reveal that Fauci met with the CIA’s Weapons and Counterproliferation Mission Center on June 4, 2021, where they discussed the origins of COVID and he pushed them to continue going down the natural origin path and encouraged them to contact advocates who thought the virus had a “natural origin.” 

This raises questions about Fauci’s testimony in 2024 when he was vague with lawmakers about his interactions with the Intelligence Community. 

“I can’t give you the specifics of it,” Fauci replied before pivoting to discussions of anthrax when asked if he had spoken to any U.S. intelligence agency about viral research before, during, or after the COVID-19 pandemic. 

“Politicized, self-serving leaders, like Dr. Fauci, covered up their own wrongdoing and abuses of power, manipulated intelligence, lied to Congress, and undermined a duly elected president by restricting his access to the vital facts he needed to keep the country safe. It’s time you know the truth,” Gabbard said. 

In response to the release of the documents, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) suggested that he would take further action based on the new information. 

“This release includes additional documents revealing the truth about the lab-leak origins and Fauci’s lies to Congress under oath. I’ve referred Fauci to the DOJ MULTIPLE times for criminal prosecution over his web of lies. Thank you, Director Gabbard,” Paul said. “More to come.”

During his final days in office, President Joe Biden issued a blanket pardon to Fauci to preempt any criminal investigation.
